Thread: Phone system for '98 W202?

What phone system was offered in the '98 C230? I pretty sure one was offered because I have a coax cable in the trunk going to the rear bumper & a db25 connector that leads somewhere into the passenger compartment. There is also a smaller coax that goes to the center console. The center console has an rj45 connector that terminates just behind the radio area in the dash.

Probably the Nokia 3110, and that your car is pre-wired which was rare (option 273 from memory!)

The DB25 is the phone controller connector - there should be some fibre optics around also unless its the earlier CAN based system (which I know little about)

The fibre-optic based system wiring was same as the 6210/6310 system so you can plug in those parts instead

[PM me your VIN number, and i'll try find out more]

With a little wiring magic you could even get the 2003 UHI system into that car. You may also need a new armrest lid for the phone console.

Ok, I took pictures of the connectors to see if it would help to identify what I have. I just hope I can upload them without the assistance of a fifth grader!
